The Belgian Chocolate Company: A Dynamic Data Modeling and Database Design Case for the Accounting Information Systems Class
Guido L. Geerts, Barbara A. Waddington · Journal of Information Systems · 2000
The Belgian Chocolate Company (BCC) case was designed to be used in an accounting information systems (AIS) class with strong emphasis on the Resource-Event-Agent (REA) model, data modeling, and database design. Students are asked to design, implement, and use an accounting database. A unique feature of the case is its delivery through the Internet by means of a dynamic web site. Instructors are able to adapt the content of the case to their specific needs and to create individualized assignments for students.
